Background Information
Ms Matthews is the librarian for Brampton Manor School and she needs a
system to get new books into circulation and read by the pupils and
out of storage. She needs some sort of system that will allow her to
keep track of who has books and who doesn't, she also needs to be able
to do this quickly and with ease.
Possible solutions
==================
Her possible solutions are: creating a database, a spreadsheet, a
manual card system, or a written list of who has what.
Disadvantages
=============
Database and spreadsheet - Computer could break and information will
be lost, someone could also hack into the system, also, if the system
got a virus then the information could become damaged or lost
List and card system - List and cards may become burnt, lost or
stolen, it is also hard to keep a card system secure.
User requirements
=================
Ms Matthews needs her solution to be easy to use, easy to navigate
etc. She also needs to be able to enter new data, new records,
information on new books, who has brought back their book and what
books are being borrowed and notification if they have not been
returned by a certain date.

Software
I will use Microsoft Access Database to solve this problem for Ms
Matthews, as this is the only database package we have at out school.
It is easier to use Microsoft Access compared to Excel, as with Excel
it is not possible to create an easy navigation system (i.e. a menu)
and input forms. Also, with Excel there is no option to create your
own design
Hardware
I will need the following basic hardware to make my database:
§ Tower with hard drive and sufficient space
§ Monitor
§ Mouse
§ Keyboard
I may also need to use the following output options:
§ Screen - To view the database

My dad taught me that books could be my teachers, my mom taught me that our backyard could be my classroom, and my sister showed me that you could bring books into the swimming pool. I did not know it when I would spend hours in the pool reading a book that my parents weren’t encouraging it in vain, but my family life, for good reason, was centered on books. We were the planets orbiting around one sun that was the bookshelf. Little did I know that books would be the catalyst to academic success in my early life, and I owe it all to my family. Although a life with a book in your nose might seem boring, I was never bored. Living through the characters vicariously, I explored Narnia with Lucy, attended Hogwarts with Harry, and rode dragons with Eragon. Of course

Books are also portrayed as an escape for Hana, because, ."..she fell upon books as the only door out of her cell." (7)
Tell the students that they have to do all of the prompts until they are all checked off before they can go to the next book.
Although not all agree, the trend toward removing print media from the library can be seen as refocusing public school library resources on 21st century learning. The debate over eBooks in particular has been very divisive. Traditionally the library has been a quiet place to read and research mostly from print materials. Most libraries have even incorporated a cluster or two of computers so that patrons can access the Internet or search databases, but the perception and reality of most libraries is that they are filled with shelves and shelves of print materials.

Just like waking up in the morning and inhaling my first conscious-breath of the day, reading is something essential to me. As I child, I used to dream of having my own and private reading place where I would sit and spend my whole day reading my favorite books without any disturbance. Thanks to my dreams, I now have a wonderful private library in my house. This place is not similar to any other ordinary library but a mini place where you can find a massive number of interesting books of different varieties.
